if the shift solenoid was bad you wouldnt have third also since that same shift solenoid for 2nd is off in third also unless for some weird reason solenoid B is staying on you may need to look at scan tool data and see what gear is being commanded. possible sticking 2-3 shift valve, were the feed holes to the shift solenoids drilled if they were drilled to big more than .030 it can cause a no 2-3 until outrageous speed as it floods the shift solenoids and keeps the valve stroked when it should be exhausting. these are 2 issue there are more also maybe a bad 3-2 downshift solenoid bad

yes, drop the pan and look for 2 prongs to apply the 12 volts too. or unplug it to get to the other prongs on it. you can also pull out the solenoid and test it on a bench....

just so you know, you can test a shift solenoid with a 12 volt power source to see if it works or not. do you know how to get to the shift solenoid?
